I really didn't sleep a wink just to read the novel in one sitting. I hated how pathetic these characters are written. The potential is there but decided to make em pathetic lmao which is actually like that irl I mean MC is the type to kiss asss and win favors no matter how much he hates it, he ends up doing it anyways=bootlicking! HAHAHAHA
Yohan= weird kid, interesting but so unrelatable like he doesn't even feel human, he seems like a generic obsessive top.
MC= a frustrating twink who thinks bad of everyone but acts like a total loser despite having it all. Money, Looks, Brains and social skill Goddamn twink can't use that big brain properly like bro if you want to have real power and social standing go to your lane! WITH THE SMART KIDS why do u want the delinquents influence/power when u could use ur 'teachers pet' and good grades to make a solid group of student council gang?
The world building kinda doesn't make sense, it's so limited just to make this couple happen. I expected too much, it's just another angty story with smuts to feed brainrot
If u r a fan and reading this, don't get mad. It's not bad, 'cause it could be worse lol I actually enjoyed it a little but totally felt like a waste of time. I just know the manhwa would be worth reading—as a smut material because the art style ATE! anything visually pleasing is good for the eyes if we just focus on the good parts. The novel doesn't really have that "pleasing in the eyes" thing so I took it seriously and ended up disappointed HAHA
While I respect your personal opinion about the novel itself but I am sorry but most of your complaints about the novel's characters fall short because it is clear you haven't read the novel properly or just skimmed through it. It is probably because the plot isn't simply your preference. You can read my opinion if you want to.
Eighteen's bed is a character driven novel.Idk why did you focus on the smut when there is barely any smut, except for the extra chapters. The explanation behind Kang Jun's mentality is clearly shown and explained. Also he doesn't hang out with the delinquent type of students, he hangs out with the most popular student who can use as a shield. There are paragraphs detailing why did he do what he did. Also it's a all boys school, those "smart kids" aren't valued much unlike the rich students who are violent and aggressive (since male students prefer delinquents over nerds) and Kang Jun does maintain good relationships with the smart students too for a while at least. Kang Jun is intentionally written to be prideful and kind of a push over but his development is steady and his flaws are realistic for a high school student. The worldbuilding isn't as nessacary because it's a character driven story, not a plot driven one.
While Go Yohan is obsessive, his mentality is complicated and feels almost childish; he also has development especially in the end when kang juns fights back. Calling him "typical" feels like you haven't really understood his characyer which is understandable since he is meant to be mysterious and whimsical in a way lol.
CLOCKEDDD LMAO
well I didn't focus on the smut, i just mentioned that cause my friend said she's excited to see the the deed and not just read it. Though my last remark did seem that way and even insulting but oh well, that's how I feel about the character, it's just this feeling that I am finally seeing a development then it goes back to this complex character the author made them. One thing I did enjoy is how they come to accept and feel confident about their sexuality.
Like u said mc hangs out with most popular. That is what I find a bit meh cause the setting set in stone that this most popular we speak of are exactly these wealthy, good looking and strong(can fight so that the boys will admire/respect the top dog brawn-wise) It's pretty common in manhwa or school hierarchy setting. Ig I was just expecting MC to stop sucking up or pretending which he did(mentally) but how he acted is still the same just a bit braver than his past self who just laughs along even when insulted face to face.
So yeah, irl there so many types of popular kids, the one that really wins is the student who gets the majority's favor which is thru money, looks, connections and even brawn/fighting/being top dog. Anyway that isn't what the author focused on cause it's more of about their trauma, being closeted and self esteem also love. Anyway I said what I said, that's how I feel and think about it despite knowing and understanding what you mean. I mean I stated I already read it and it's really frustrating and enjoyable at the same time. Btw I didn't just skimmed/binge it I really did read it cause if I just binged it, I'll probably be less brothered about the angst.
About the typical criticism, he really is. There's similar characters to his temperament and behavioral pattern developed by traumas etc. But he is one of the few that doesn't stoop that low and is bearable cause I can still sympathize with his reasons unlike some Chinese version ghod I don't even wanna think about it esp those over the top grapist
Girl you said that MC should form up with the smart kids instead of these delinquents but did you forget when MC was being treated as an outcast he did try talking with the other smart kids , bruh they were total hypocrites mad btches. And about being the teacher's pet , MC is already a teacher's pet in others eyes because did you forget the whole MCQs situation about the teacher filling it out for him and everybody was so bitter about it, literally all the other "SMART KIDS" are even more fckass losers than him bruh I would choose the delinquents too if I were him with those fckass students
Cause the setting the author chose is already set in stone that these power mc wants is for the top dog. Speak up against the bully and u get beat up typa setting. That's totally out of reality. I love that kind of genre's too(IF THE MC IS THE ONE BEATING UP PPL INSTEAD OF GETTING BEAT UP or being such a loser) but I hate limited settings sm I'd rather reread the entire book series of Grandmaster of demonic cultivation cause that one's world building doesn't feel suffocating.
Dyk what it feels to play a 5pvp game? U are the core and u also have to carry ur useless teammate? that's how I feel abt MC and these ML. And have u ever played a game that u almost won but got defeated instead so u try again and defeat, and again and again but still nothing came out of trying again. Yes, a circle of let downs. That's how it felt about their character development. Welp the author decides one thing and that's it. Leave it or take it. I read it all anyways and it was good yet unsatisfying. You do you, since ur mind accept this type of world building and main characters then good for you ig
and I'm not a girl
whenever Redian act so shady clingy I hear A Little Death by the Neighborhood playing in my mind. It suits him actually
Why does it's sounds like a horror out of romance? ( ╹▽╹ )
cuz irl it is a horror sike hahaha imagine someone so in love with you and if you don't love him he ends up chasing you even if it's in hell just like Redian. Well if it weren't for his amazing body, handsome face, and capabilities will you still like such personality? Nauuurrr this typa situation is actually toxic but since it's romanticized and a fantasy genre then any brainrot down gutter shii is Approved
I kinda fancy Tashid warrior(reminds me of the Hunk Guts) but he is actually just 9 years old? I am twice his age lmao sounds like jail time hellnahhh
no well its said that he is practically the same age as 25 so your good hes actually older than you I think they like twice as long as humans so its like converted or whatever
this is actually concerning me. everyone saying bl this and bl that but it seems im is not picking up that vibe lol but the edits were hot ngl
Cedric got some inner child issues and psychological trauma then here comes Jesse who is like a therapist making people feel at ease with his kindness and comforting words. So mc kindof like treated his issues actually. Cedric is slowly changing reminds me so much of Naruto and Sasuke in a way.
I just hope author won't ruin what he is doing right now cause the platonic love is going strong. This could pass as a decent shounen too. The author deserves support so can anyone tell me the app/site of official publisher? and how many English ch. are there
ah yes, the famously straight naruto and sasuke
Please support the author on Webtoons! It is 2 chapters ahead from here.
no wonder it's so familiar maybe I've already read this there I just forgot to bookmark. ty^^
enemies to lovers oh i mean friends trope
yessir thinking abt eachother whilst sleeping.. love that bromance ♡♡
what's the name.
When the Third Wheel Strikes Back
You should've told me it costed money to advance the episodes... </3
there is daily pass tickets and 7 ads per day to advance the episodes
Daily pass is on 74, it aint 2 chapters ahead, if you want chapter 75 or 76 it costs coins
I wont be surprised if this get adapted into an anime or live action. The plot is plotting fr and the art? ong it's very decent Gotta support the OG publisher cause the author deserves it hoho
anime adaptation is gonna be w super shitty animation and super inconsistent art i bet, live action gonna be a hit or miss high chance like solo leveling the anime and orv live action is enough to kill me from inside
ikr lmao all adaptation is so mid asf except for Batosai and Tower of God(man the animation looks better than manhwa art)
our chad Vikir just got ~Vladimired~ lol
YES! I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT!!!
It's always guys with V
this made me laugh out loudly as I then proceeded to fall off the bed, harming my cat since I fell on the little fluff ball but in summary, BAHAHAHHAHAH LOLOL
not the kitty catt aiyoo HAHAHAHA
definitely will still linger on my mind until my death bed I am repulsed by it but I like it! Japanese manga trained me for this HAHA!
I’m so curious lol WHAT’s happening
I wanna read but I know I’ll keep waiting for more chapters lol so I’ll read later
They fuck in the ring, that's pretty much i can say.
not just fvck on the ring but assault, grape, sa, humiliated and everything most people hate especially their visuals. Not a single character look attractive enough that you'd wish they'll choke u instead if you know what i mean, well not until that young ML shows up
So it’s like ‘please get away from me and my children’ and not ‘I’d let you step on me’
Well, if you’re traumatised enough, they can be the same thing! :D
I thought I'd finally get a story of Dane's life the ginger dominant omega who looks absolutely stunning and manly with a fur baby cat tsk I really find Dane charismatic and interesting, I wish author will make a story for him
wait hes an omega?? i thought it said hes an alpha tho????
I think he's an Alpha.
According to the novel He’s omega and he sleep with other omegas, men and women. As I remember.
Yeah some claimed he is an enigma but it's already said in the novel he is dom Ome
nope. they thought he was i mean the characters in the story also mistaken him as such but surprise surprise he ain't hehe
r@p*$t that r@p*$t this lmao dyk that Dan signed up to be f'd? Poor him tho just because he needs money he ignored his situation that's why it came off as ra*e also Jk asked if Dan is a beginner or not and Dan made it seem like he was actually experienced so Jk just did what he clearly wants to do and Dan chose silence over communication. Someone inconsiderate X Shy type is a bad match fr
almost forgot, Jaehorse also asked if Dan wanted to do it or quit so yeah.. and Jaehorse should find a new motivation in life aside from his absent mom, fame or money. I have a hunch he probably lost that motivation already so now he is just clinging to Winning that Champion title or else he'd be nothing. That's why he is just making excuse for his unstable mental shii that seggs will fix everything
Babes that's sexual coercion. Not only that but he's repeatedly ignored dan telling him to stop. Not that I'm somebody who's against him, I really like the story and I want the best for both characters. But even I acknowledge the fact that he's a bad person, and he is a rapist and he is an abuser. Those are facts. You can still like the character and even want them to end up together but what's the point in denying what is truth?
Also it's been a while since I've reread the entirety of the manhwa but hasn't jaekyung like actually laid hands Dan? Like didn't he like hit him, or like ignore him bleeding or something whenever they were sleeping together? Just on the most recent chapters didn't he throw him on the ground and throw water at him? Like I still like him but it gets to a point where you got to just call it like it is
Thank you for your opinion but dyhave reading comprehension? or am I speaking alien cause I never denied he is a R-thing I just stated the obvious that Dan(by author's design) signed up and walked in that mess because he needs the cash
Oh sorry it seemed like you disagreed
yeah he should be jailed for that
You got a point haha sorry and I don't disagree. Ngl tho I like Jinx that why I tried hard not to get emotional so I analyze these characters without being biased and my conclusion is — I LIKE POTATO, he is the most pleasant one
tbh dan is annoying and i get it, but ur wrong. You need to inform yourself better about what rape is and how consent works. dan's boundaries have been crossed multiple times and because dan let it happen doesnt mean it was consensusual, or that it excludes him from being a victim.
Ik maybe you're just ragebaiting but be aware this kind of opinion is harmful
Another misunderstanding again. Sure, r@pe can vary like how it's done and/or in what situation it happened so again, I know that as a 'former'(cause I already got over it and I won't tolerate any of that if I see signs of people irl acting like a b!tch in heat towards me) victim of SA so I am not invalidating Dan, okay? I just view this story very differently from most ig I mean it's fiction and dumb in a way, yet it triggers very sensitive topics as per usual BL stuff. Damn this is why stating some obvious things about Dan too is tricky especially the way I said it.
ohh okay yeah i guess i got misleaded by the way you worded it, if so I'm glad dit was just a misunderstanding from my part
